While you cannot always predict which pharmacies sell fake EC, you can reduce the chances by doing the following: 1) Go to larger and trusted pharmacies, like Boticas Fasa, Boticas InkaFarma and Boticas Mifarma, or pharmacies attached to large hospitals. These pharmacies are more likely to be legit and sell real medicine. 2) Go to pharmacies in central urban areas, as they are also more likely to sell real medicine.
